First Round Bonus Questions:
Bonus #1 - Total Number of Goals Scored in the First Round (8 games) - 49
Bonus #2 - Total Number of Saves made in the First Round (8 games) - 468
Bonus #3 - Total Number of minutes of OT in the First Round* (8 games) - 45

Bonus #2 - Total Number of Shots on Goal by Region Champions (4 teams) - 126
Bonus #3 - Average Time of Regional Final Game Winning Goal scored*** (4 teams) - 48:40

Scoring: 3 points for each game in the First Round. 4 points for each game in the Regional Final.
Bonus Scoring:
- Bonus #1 - 5 points, deducting 1 point per number off until 0 (can't go into negative)
- Bonus #2 - 10 points, deducting 1 point per number off until 0 (can't go into negative)
- Bonus #3 - 10 points, deducting 1 point per number off until 0 (can't go into negative)

* - I will round to the nearest minute.
** - So if the teams combine for 120 penalty minutes total between the 4 games, the average number would be 30 penalty minutes. This number is per game, NOT per team.
*** - I will use the same style of scoring that I did for the previous GWG bonus, up to 10 minutes (can earn 1/2 points). If you believe the average will be 3:03 into the 2nd period, then you would predict 23:03.

Re: 2014-2015: NCAA Weekly Pick'em

Updates on our brackets...still 4 games left in the First Round:

To set the stage, First Round Bonus is at:
Bonus 1 (total goals) - 20
Bonus 2 (total saves) - 224
Bonus 3 (total OT mins) - 15:38 (would be rounded up to 16 if no OT games today)

1. SweeneyHawksHockey vs. 16. gochiefs

SHH up on gochiefs 12-6 after the games yesterday. SHH and gochiefs each have the same picks today except for the DU-BC game, so SHH will have either a 9 or 3 point lead before bonus is calculated.

Bonus 1: SHH - 42, gochiefs -45
Bonus 2: SHH - 448, gochiefs - 424
Bonus 3: SHH - 20, gochiefs - 30

8. FS23 vs. 9. Laker Dude

Both contestants went 3-1 yesterday, and are tied at 9 points apiece. Both picked identically except for the BC (FS23) - DU (LD) game. Whoever gets that game correct will have a 3 point lead heading into the bonus.

Bonus 1: FS23 - 41, LD - 29
Bonus 2: FS23 - 361, LD - 200
Bonus 3: FS23 - 35, LD - 10

2. Pump It Up vs. 15. 1988

PIU leads 9-3 after day one. PIU and 1988 each have identical picks for today, with the exception of the Harvard (1988) - UNO (PIU) game. As a result, PIU will have either a 12 or 6 point lead before factoring in the bonus.

Bonus 1: PIU - 49, 1988 - 44
Bonus 2: PIU - 468, 1988 - 441
Bonus 3: PIU - 45, 1988 - 0

7. irishstate vs. 10. 97osu

Both competitors went 3-1 yesterday, so are tied with 9 points each. They have two different winners in today's games, so we could be tied or one may have a 6 point edge before factoring in bonus.

Bonus 1: irishstate - 39, 97osu - 45
Bonus 2: irishstate - 368, 97osu - 430
bonus 3: irishstate - 24, 97osu - 92

3. NU_Husky vs. 14. all bear

all bear is up 12-6 after getting all 4 games right yesterday. They only differ on one game today, so all bear will have either a 3 or 9 point lead heading into the bonus.

Bonus 1: NU - 29, all bear - 48
Bonus 2: NU - 465, all bear - 400
Bonus 3: NU - 22, all bear - 15

6. FiveHole12 vs. 11. drshoen

drshoen leads 9-6 after yesterday. They have two different predictions today, so the lead could sway to FH12 by 3, or drshoen could increase his lead to 9 before bonus.

Bonus 1: FH12 - 32, drshoen - 42
Bonus 2: FH12 - 416, drshoen - 572
Bonus 3: FH12 - 12, drshoen - 24

4. Siouxfaninseattle vs. 13. darker98

darker98 got all 4 games correct, and holds a 12-6 lead on SFIS. They have 1 game picked differently today, so darker 98 will have either a 3 or 9 point lead heading into the bonus.

Bonus 1: SFIS - 45, darker98 - 53
Bonus 2: SFIS - 435, darker98 - 280
Bonus 3: SFIS - 50, darker98 - 38

5. Driftryder vs. 12. kpd52

Both players went 3-1 yesterday, and are tied at 9-9. They have picked two games differently today, so we could remain tied, or one could have a 6 point lead prior to bonus.

Bonus 1: Driftryder - 38, kpd52 - 37
Bonus 2: Driftryder - 335, kpd52 - 459
Bonus 3: Driftryder - 26, kpd52 - 0

You need to get the 2 semifinals correct, and SFIS needs to get them both incorrect. If you go 2-0 and SFIS goes 1-1, SFIS takes it by a tenth of a percentage point. Pump It Up is also in contention. You need PIU to go 1-1 or 0-2. If PIU goes 2-0, you cannot catch him.
